We used to do a similar thing with Oxfam. If you read the fine print on the Oxfam card they don't actually guarantee a goat at all, just the same dollar value will go to their operations. I was a bit disappointed, because I really like the idea.
Close enough...
If I buy a goat, does the money actually go to buy a goat?
All donations received from the Gift Catalogue are allocated to the projects providing the items selected. So, when you purchase a goat, your donation supports a project in Afghanistan or Bangladesh that has goat rearing as one of its components. We calculate the amount so that it includes a goat and contributes to training in animal husbandry.
